    Ok so this is the first time seeing either one of these 2 fighters fight, but I had Kotelnik winning every round. In fact only 2 rounds to me seemed close enough where you could have given it to either fighter. From the first round I couldn't believe how many times Kotelnik snapped back Devons head and how many times Devon either missed or was blocked by Kotelnik. I can't even recall Alexander landing 1 significant clean punch.

    It was quite easy to witness if you had no bias to either fighter ,that Kotelnik won. The fans knew Alexander lost indicated by how quiet they got toward the end, Alexander's corner knew he lost as to how frantic they were, Alexander knew he lost as to the way he act at the end of the fight and lazy lifted one hand, Kotelnik knew he won the fight by how excited he was afterwards, Kotelniks corner knew he won the fight from the 8th round from what they said, Max and Papas both knew and scored the fight for Kotelnik, and Harold Lederman knew ALexander lost from his unconvincing stuttering explanation on how he scored it for Alexander.

    Wasn't suprised to see Don King standing behind him during the interview

    It was a ****ing robbery, but not close to being all time.

    ****, ODLH-Sturm was a bigger robbery and that isn't top 5.

    There is NO such thing as a robbery in boxing. If you want to avoid any controversy, then knock out the other dude. Plain and simple :smooch

    It was clearly a robbery but not the biggest of all time

    Hell no. Personally, I had Kotelnik winning pretty easily 116-112, based on him pressing the action and landing clean, hard, effective punching. Alexander was throwing his hands and that's it. If you score a fight like that then I guess you'll have a scorecard like Lederman. So, it's basically what you like, not even close to being "the biggest robbery of all-time."

    Another thing it is tough to say that it is a robbery, because it just depends on what you like. Again, if you perfered volume in this fight, Alexander was your man. If you like clean, hard, effective punching then you gave it to AK.

    No, it wasn't even a "robbery." The right guy won, and by the right score too!

    No. Simply because the outcome (robbery) was obvious. There was no way Alexander stays on his feet and walks out with anything less than a win tonight. Young, undefeated, HBO/King fighter in front of a home crowd with a big fight on the horizon? Do the math.

    What if you knock out a guy, but still don't get awarded the win?
